WARNING
Avoid braking during turns. Use of
the brake when turning could cause
the 『 『 T E 1 0 0 /9 0』 』 to slide or roll
over. Use the brake to slow down
before entering turns.
Apply the brake lightly and with great
care on slippery surfaces to avoid
skidding.
WARNING
Never operate the parking brake lock
when the 『 『 TE100 /90』 』 is moving. The
rear wheels will lock, and an accident
could result.
★ ★ TURNING
To turn the 『TE100 / 90』the rider must
learn a special technique. Because this
vehicle has a solid rear axle, both rear
wheels always turn at the same speed.
This means that if the rear wheels are
getting equal traction, the vehicle will move
straight ahead, because the rear wheels
will travel the same distance.
For the vehicle to turn, the outside rear
wheel must travel a greater distance than
the inside rear wheel. To make this
happen, the rider must learn how to create
less traction for the inside wheel, so that it
can travel a shorter distance than the
outside wheel, even though both wheels
are still turning at the same speed.
To turn the 『TE100 / 90』 , the rider should
use the following technique :
Turn the handlebars in the direction of
the turn.
Shift body weight slightly forward and
support your weight on the outer
footrest. This will reduce the load on the
inside rear wheel, reducing its traction.
Lean upper body into the turn.
■ ■ At higher speeds :
Use the same technique that you use for
turning at low speeds, but lean farther into
the turn. Since natural turning forces(which
tend to push the vehicle to the outside of
the turn) increase as speed increases, you
must lean your upper body farther into the
turn as you go faster, to prevent the vehicle
from tipping over to the outside of the turn.
Remember, though, to keep your weight
supported on the outer footrest.
If the rider does not use the proper
technique to turn the 『 『 TE100 /9 0』 』 , it
may plow straight ahead even though
the front wheels are turned. The rider
should practice the above technique at
low speeds in a wide open area until
he/she has mastered it.
★ ★ SKIDDING OR SLIDING
If the rider experiences inadvertent skidding
or sliding when not braking, he/she may be
able to overcome it by using the appropri-
ate technique listed below.
